What is your favorite website? It’s so 1999.
I just was recently asked this by DAVE the branding agency which is involved with a company I am working with. They had asked everyone to come prepared with our favorite website.
Doing a bit of thinking about this. And my response to it is f*** the question. I don’t have a favorite website. I may have websites I use and visit, some more than others.
Websites are just another way to consume, communicate and publish. It’s almost like saying what’s your favorite type of public transport underground train. I’m not a train geek, so if it does it’s job and takes me from A to B without any hicks I have no preference in underground trains. It’s just something you have to use when you travel on public transport.
I just think that the question of what is your favorite website like something that you would ask pre-2000. The generation that grows up with the internet don’t see the internet or websites as XHTML pages. They see websites as a tool in accomplishing what they want to do from connecting with friends to buying some kicks.
Hopefully I have created some discussion and things to talk about, like I do during my Barcamp sessions. Let me know what you think.
Below is a quick diagram showing what sites I use regularly which I will use when explaining I have no favorite website. But if they do ask me to pick one, I’ll choose Wakoopa (Wakoopa.com) which tracks what desktop and web applications you use. The reason: becuase it helped me make this diagram.
